three. video. (γνῶθι σεαυτόν)

[ Yeah okay, so he just showed his face in public fairly recently but whatever, this time he's kind of a little bit crankier. Kind of a lotta bit. Rubbing his hand across his face, pressing the heel of his hand into his eyes, wrinkling his nose - all ways he probably shouldn't be starting a video. Not that he really cares about being glamorous but still.

Whatever. He pushed the record button a hot second too soon, but it's not like he's got a ton to say. Ish. ]

This headache is past getting on my nerves and y'know, i'm starting to think it might have to do with the fact that i'm pretty sure my brain didn't really have room for a whole lot more in it. [ ... because that's logical. ] Or maybe it's more like- one of these things is not like the other. With a lot more pain involved.

[ Peter manages to glower at the camera for a second longer as if the thing has personally offended him. Who knows, maybe it has. ]

But mostly? I'd really like to know why the hell I remember turning into a werewolf, because you know what, i've never turned into a werewolf before. Not even once. Unless I did it unconsciously and this ship's dredged up the memory like a bad therapy session, but i'm still gonna go with door number one.

I've never turned into a werewolf. So I really don't know why I can remember doing it.

[ normally that'd be a quick ignore, actually, but given some recent revelations (and distinctly unwelcome memories)- ]

Turn into a werewolf how, exactly? Lon Chaney Jr?

[ oh god he's being quizzed about it now. ]

I don't know, Lon Chaney stayed a little more on the human looking side of things. I think.

text; anon until otherwise!

[growling]

Yeah, he mostly just stuck with the excessive hair.

You're sure this wasn't just an extremely vivid nightmare? Or dream. A month without dreams, we're bound to have some weird ones.

text; yes good!!

[lostkings]

Pretty sure nightmares involve being asleep. It was more like- I don't know, sort of came out of nowhere, just a bunch of bits and pieces of memories that'd never really been mine before. Got a headache right afterwards.

Made me think it was just sort of shoved in there out of nowhere.

[growling]

I know the feeling. If it helps, it's not just you.

[ a slight delay, then: ]

With the memories, not the werewolf thing. That sounds like a personal problem.

[ a thoughtful look, then evenly: ] Maybe you're hallucinating.

[ wow. what a revolutionary opinion. you're welcome, peter. ]

video;

[lostkings]

So i'm hallucinating a memory.

[ ohhhh, this could go so, so badly. ]

[eastcoast]

[ a small shrug. ] The mind can play tricks on itself in situations like this.

[lostkings]

And you've got first hand experience?

[endeavors]

It's... maybe it's from a dream? [No? That's the theory he's hanging onto very dearly.]

[lostkings]

One of those deja vu, feel like you've been through it before, because it was a dream, kind of thing? [ convenient when all the different werewolves change a liiiitle differently. ]

[endeavors]

Yeah - I guess. Something like that. It's happened before, right?

[lostkings]

Only once so far, actually.

[strayed]

Isn't that how it goes in the movies?

text;

[lostkings]

You mean today it starts off with a memory, next week I find myself naked in the woods?

text;

[strayed]

No. I mean you've already been naked in the woods, you just don't remember.

text;

[lostkings]

I always thought it was the other way around.

[altercate]

Which kind?

text, auggielocked;

[lostkings]

[ he shouldn't even be surprised by... more questions. ]

A kind that... turned into a wolf? I'm not sure i've got enough of the details you might be looking for.

text, auggielocked;

[altercate]

There's different kinds.
Wouldn't you know which?

text, auggielocked;

[lostkings]

Not really an expert in this, but I get that. I do. This kind definitely went more wolfy. Paws and all.

Not a lot of fur?

[gothchicklit]

Maybe you really are a werewolf but you've been blacking out until recently.

video;

[lostkings]

[ oh god, not you too. ]

That's definitely encouraging.

video;

[gothchicklit]

Lucky for me, I wasn't really going for encouraging, I was going for realistic. This place throws all sorts of shit at people. [ And even then, maybe he was a werewolf back home, too. She has no idea what his life was like. ]

video;

[lostkings]

I'm pretty sure i've got more than enough evidence to prove i'm not a werewolf. Starting and ending with the fact that i've never been bitten by one.

[ That totally counts as evidence right? ] I'd like to think i'd remember that part.
